If you like a game with lots of action this is the game for you. Even though the action quality is absolutely terrible! Like the gamers "old school sidescrollers", the principles of this game follow along the same lines.

Graphics: 2
The graphics on this game are not very good at all. I do however give credit to the maker for trying to look good at the time. Compared to most games, the graphics are fuzzy and lame.

Sound: 2
The sound quality of the game is somewhat creative yet very poor. When you play as Dr. Jekyll the music is different. All of a sudden you turn into Mr. Hyde and the music becomes strange.

Gameplay: 2
Gameplay is the most important factor of the NES world. In this game you take the role of the bright Dr. Jeykll and when too much corruption flows through your veins, you suddenly become the demonic Mr. Hyde.

Overall: 2
Overall this game is horrible! The game play disappoints me because I have always admired the story of Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde. I give the game some credit because the game title convinced me to buy it from a vendor at Jamie's Flea Market a long time ago.

If my judgement is not sufficient try the game yourself and prove me wrong. However I will warn you that I lost interest in the game in 1 week after purchasing it for $3.00.

This game makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. First, as Dr. Jekyll, you walk around (or try to; you can barely move), get hit many times for absolutely no reason, then you become Mr. Hyde, go on a huge rampage, can still barely move, eventually die because you don't know what the hell you are doing, and then GAME OVER. Yup, that sure is my idea of a good time.
